15th march 09 Rothiemurchus Forest nr Aviemore

The castle on Loch an Eilean from the echo rock and some great caledonian
pines to marvel in grandiose pose and with rare undercanopy. Froggy on a wet
ditch side just off the track - not enjoying my handling however gentle (if
it's a wee toad please forgive my amphibious ignorance!). A horse hoof
fungus (wonder why?) and beautifully rugged lumpy bark of an ancient silver
birch.

Along the road at a wee tea room on the edge of Alvie Estates, some rare
cakes and teas/coffees and all the birds to watch on the feeders - red
squirrel, blue tits, great tits, woodpecker, pheasants, chaffinches,
blackbird, etc...very close and exciting even through the glass.....

The Cairngorm Nature Reserve is a classic area and lots to explore. The
Rothiemurchus Forest is just such a wonderful environment.
Go and do it. Live Scotland's grandeur.

Best regards, Denis.
